I started in the 1960's and tried to get my sons involved but not much luck...

It can be a fun hobby for anyone who likes being outdoors and doesn’t mind getting a little dirty.

I've never found anything of real value it's just a time killer..

Same here.... haven’t found anything of real value.

I’ve always liked walking through the woods because it’s relaxing. Bringing a metal detector along can make it fun and relaxing.

Never know when you might need a rusted bottle cap.. I was mostly trying to find meteorite specimens since they bring good dough....

I still cringe when I think about the few “rocks” I tossed after digging them up.
That was when I was young and not as smart.

e too till I got older and found out what a nice price they bring. Not to mention the quartz crystals for the freaks...

Do you still have your detector?

 

[tycho1572]

Not long after getting my first detector, I took it into a wooded area that was part of a state park. I got a few good hits, and stopped because I didn’t have permission.
After calling to ask if it was OK to use a metal detector in the park, the ranger said “absolutely not!”. He then went on about preserving the artifacts and thanked me for calling/asking.

That got me thinking about how we’re going to preserve history if it’s left to rust away.

Prometheus Shrugged

Use the neutrino as a combination Geiger Counter and GPS. We will be able to map all the minerals and hydrocarbon resources below the Earth's surface. Or don't. Because of insults and ingratitude, High IQs owe human parasites nothing.

We can also set the BS aside and talk about the hobby....

I’ve metal detected for the past 11 years. Found some nice things.

What detector are you using?

 

[tycho1572]

I’m on the fence with buying a new one, Intolerant.

Minelab Etrac.

 

[Intolerant]

If I was starting out. I would get a Whites’s. Total price for detector, pin pointer, a trowel. Probably $450.00-$500.00

 

[Pavel Svinchnik]

I bought one some years ago to locate arrows I'd lost shooting at the target in our back pasture. My arrows had titanium shafts and cost a few bucks, so the ones I recovered paid for the purchase of the metal detector. Still hoping to find a Mason jar full of gold coins from the 1800's.

Thats a nice looking detector.
